A FAMILY of three was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in a cold-blooded “execution” to satisfy a perverted sexual pleasure, a court was told.

Pierre Williams, originally from Selly Oak, Birmingham, killed Kesha Wizzart, 18, who had appeared on TV’s Young Stars In Their Eyes, and her mother Beverley Samuels, 36, his on-off girlfriend, along with her son, Fred Wizzart, 13, by striking them with “deliberate and accurate” blows to the head using a 2lb engineers hammer, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Ray Wigglesworth QC told the jury of five women and seven men that they need to consider whether Williams had a “propensity to violence towards women” after detailing his alleged previous sexual assaults.

Mr Wigglesworth told the jury the deaths were “execution-style murders”.

Their daughter Kesha was talented and hardworking with the prospect of a bright future.

In 2004, she appeared on ITV’s Young Stars In Their Eyes. At the date of her death she had just completed her A-level examinations in English, philosophy and law with a view to reading law at University.
